Navy SEAL And Canine Partner Share Unbreakable Bond | TODAY
Dang from the thumbnail I thought it was some sort of Doberman
My service dogs saved me from a fire, they tore my back door off to get me out. I had no idea that I was about to die. They are my heros.
I’m crying I’m so jelouse my life is depressing and I hate my dog but I kinda like her, it’s a such a toxic relationship, do you know any online profesional trainers??! Please I need help and I get no sleep, I woke up at 8:00 pm yesterday 😭
I just want her to love me and set her up for success, I really love her, it’s a love/hate thing but I need a trainer, I will do anything for her please...
wait what? how is this not a news story or a book? is it?
@@shiromaniw3527 The first thing to understand is that your dogs behavior is a reflection of your own behavior. When you are depressed, anxious, frustrated, and so forth - that causes your dog to feel those feelings too.
A large part of being a good dog owner is learning how to be a calm, confident, even-tempered person.
The second thing you need to understand is that a dog that doesn’t get exercise is going to be a bad dog. Dogs NEED exercise. A ton of it. Even little dogs need a lot of exercise - and not just exercise but mental stimulation.
Think of it like they are a 3 year old child sitting through a church service. They have a lot of energy, a very short attention span, and they don’t really understand what is going on around them to an in-depth degree so they can’t participate.
If you’re struggling with emotional baggage at the moment as everybody does at multiple points throughout their life, then it might be that you need to work to fix that problem first. Understand that therapy dogs are TRAINED to respond the way they do. Dogs aren’t just born like that. It’s true that they’re gifted when it comes to comforting their owners and relating to their feelings, but for a dog to set its own needs aside for yours requires training, education, and a handler who understands their needs.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this with your dog. Just know that soooo many people do. It’s not just you. It’s a struggle and it will teach you a lot - it’s like raising a kid. You’ll make a lot of mistakes and feel really guilty a lot of the time. Sometimes you will just hate your dog. Sometimes you will love them. But that is all part of the experience of being a dog owner, until you learn how to be really good at it. So you’re definitely not the only one going through this and you’re not alone.
Definitely, definitely put time, effort, and if you have it - money - into repairing your relationship with your dog. Ignoring it will seriously impact your quality of life. The time you need to spend learning and improving pales in comparison to the time you would have spent suffering from not doing those things.
Step 1 is to start by repairing yourself. Become a person your dog loves, respects, and feels safe around.
Step 2 is to learn about your dogs needs and to provide daily exercise (40 minutes) and mental stimulation. Look up games you can play with your dog online. Practice working with your dog as a team. Consider hide and seek. Scavenger hunts for treats. This kind of activity is way more important than a walk, but walking your dog is likely to make them behave a lot better because it tires them out.
Step 3 is to learn about dog psychology. Realize that your dog is just a dependent, small child in a canine body. How they behave is a reflection of how you handle them.
Good luck!
Gorgeous, calm well-trained dog.
Kari Carter duhh its a well trained dog. Its a seal Dog
Trevor and Chopper, you are both hero’s .
The best way I've ever heard it put is this. Dogs are angels given physical form, sent to us to show us pure love.
So glad Chopper is with you & your family. 🙂🐶💟
Beautiful Chopper! I am so very happy that he is now retired and living a happier life and is safely back home with the Navy Seal who shares his love and lifelong support for the new organization for vets and their dogs.
Thank You Sir for your service to our country!
Respect is what I have for People That Makes My Life Safer
Chopper is one of the most beautiful or handsome dogs. Wow. 🐾🐾🐾
Trevor sssoooo happy for u n Chopper for him not to be classified as surplus equipment is finally steps in the correct direction....semper fi
dogs and animals have a long and proud history of service not only in times of peace but also in times of war. Dogs have really proven their worth since 9/11 and will continue to provide that "paws for the cause" that soldiers everywhere value so highly. My own two bullies keep me going on days when nothing else will. Ya know?
Thanks for your service Trevor and Chopper. GSDs are the best, most well-rounded dog you can get.
This is not a German shepherd, but a Belgian Malinois.
German shepherd :)
+olivier ausselet Chopper as an all black working line German Shepherd. The Handler himself even says he's a German Shepherd..
Yeah thanks for being there invading countries and killing "terrorists".
Yes they are!
This is heartbreaking, know I'm watching in 2020 the greatest drawback dogs have is they don't live long enough!
I lost my magnificent k9 5 years ago, that connection is irreplaceable and crushing at a most personal level.
Not a day goes by without her in my mind.
Finally, I realized what a once in a lifetime privilege I had to walk beside and share time and space with this one in a million canine...
I believe I will see spike again because it won't be heaven without her.
Lies again? Paramount Network USD SGD
Dogs are amazing animals, they can do more for us than we will ever give them credit for. To see people still mistreat them in what's supposed to be a civilized world is sickening.
That dog is gorgeous!!!!
GSD's are the best dogs on the planet!
How can anyone even dislike such a video..
Having PTSD myself, I just love your story. My cats are the two best friends that I have. Unconditional love is important for a survivor. To live retirement with the one you love is your reward. If you get a chance watch the movie "Hatchi". That dog was real and a statue was erected for him. Omg☺💝
To meet one of these Military Working Dogs and thank them personally for what they do for our country has always been a dream of mine!
Two true heroes!! 👍🏻
Hi Trevor and Chopper these dogs love to work this was my last GSD name Buddie // Had a fire dog called Rocky 2 call sign R2 Best to you David.
German Shepards are my FAVORITE breed of dogs!!!!
What a fantastic team!
Thank you both brothers 😸

Dogs help you meet people because of comments made about him/her.

BEAUTIFUL girl❤️💕
COOL UND SO SCHÖNE BILDER 🤗🤗
IHR SEID SOO COOL 🤗🖒❤❤❤❤RESPEKT 😘
did he really say "eye-rack"?
No one needs to be reminded the absolute importance a man has sharing his life or death situation with one devoted aide friend at at his side . THE IMPORTANT PART THE BUDJET TO RETURN SOLDIER MALE AND FELINE TOGETHER. NONE OF THIS ABSURD 2YR WAITING.
IHR SEID COOL 😘🖒🖒❤❤
Does he know Mike Ritland?
i've had cats all my life. then i got my dog and suddenly my life felt complete. go get a rescue, it will change your life!
Military working dogs
Or war dogs
Is a very important
Special smart intelligent genius clever dogs
Safe everyone in the military marine navy life’s
GSDs rank me.
I would love to buy that dog a steak or 10
Do battle dogs fall ictim to PTSD?
They can.
yes
I don't understand why the navy seals fly to all those countries like south korea...China etc.. and save the dog's who are victims of the dog meat trade
It’s crazy how sports players get idealized and get paid the big $. I understand to a certain extent. But let’s not forget there just putting a ball in a basket there almost the same height as 🤣. But there should be more focus and awareness on true heroes like our service men and women and educators. They should be the millionaires
Belgian malinois are the best
It's a black German Shepherd. Not a Malinois.
I'm willing to bet that is that Charlie And Lola idiot.
Negative Positive I just searched up that channel. Her dogs are cute.
they're both great dude I have a husky/shepherd/wolf mix and he's the sweetest boy lol he's always snuggling lol
yup,as long as the handler is fit
❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️‼️
Respect is what I have for People That Makes My Life Safer
